Never Take the Place of Your Man

It was only last June when her old man ran away

She couldn't stop cryin', she knew he was gone to stay

Ten thirty five on a lonely Friday night

She was standin' by the fire, uh, she was lookin' alright

I asked her if she wanted to dance and she said

All she wanted was a good man who wanted to know if I thought I was qualified

I said, baby, don't waste your time

I know what's on your mind

I may be qualified for a one night stand

But I can never take the place of your man

It hurt me so bad when I saw the tears in her eyes

She was all he ever wanted and now she wanted to die

He left her with a baby and another one on the way

She couldn't stop cryin' she knew he was gone to stay

She asked me if we couldn't be friends and I said

Oh, honey baby, that's okay you know and I know, know, know you wouldn't be satisfied

I said, baby, don't waste your time

And I know what's on your mind

I may be qualified for a one night stand

But I could never take the place of your man

I may be qualified for a one night stand

But I could never take the place of your man

I may be qualified for a one night stand

But I could never take the place of your man

La la la oh oh woah

Never take the place of your man

That's all I need, girl

Is a one night, one night, one night stand

I don't wanna be like a steak in your mind

Oh, girl, if you need a friend I'm there by your side

Sha la la la, sha la la

Sha la la la, sha la la
